Just seen it.

Oh. My. God. Awesome! Loved every minute of it

As a die hard trekkie I found it had all the right ingredients and was everything I'd hoped. An excellent story (by recent Trek film standards) and good casting, by and large.

Did have a few minor issues with it, notably the Simon Pegg and Anton Yelchin characters and a few issues with the plot by overall was very very impressed. Quinto and Urban were simply stunning. Quinto not only plays the character very well but bears a striking resemblance to a young Leonard Nimoy. Urban had DeForest Kelly's mannerisms down to a tee

I'm looking forward to going to see it again soon. I think Pine did an excellent job with Kirk and my favourite scene in the film is between Kirk and Mccoy.

Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read!

I'm taking about the injection scene, especially the huge hands

End Spoiler Alert!

I was going for a 2nd (Orange Wednesday) viewing tomorrow but have to go to Germany for the day instead so another week to wait before I can watch it without severe sleep deprevation (not that I had any trouble staying awake).

Did anyone else want to do REALLY dirty things with the green skinned woman and get a bit upset when they realised that she would have been killed?

End Spoiler Alert!

Just got back from the cinema. That was pretty good - not brilliant but pretty good.

Blighter · 13-05-2009, 23:23

I loved it

/admittion
I've never seen the Star Trek series before, so after a bit of persuasion from Haly... I'm now on episode 7 of TOS

I was ready to become a born again trekkie for about an hour of this film and then unaccountably the wheels came off.
The opening is brilliant. So this is Trek when they actually let rip with all that fancy weaponry and sex, drugs and rock and roll aren't a contravention of the prime directive. That's the point when the dilithium matrix loses coherence (or something, subspace anomaly? I dunno

).The script lurches from giddy strokes of genius to awkwardly contrived plot device.
Yeah the little winks to the audience members with their own communicator are nice but Abrams deviates too far from the Trek template to fully please the purists and gets too delayed extricating himself from the franchise history to really let the beast off the leash.
Plenty of potential for the next one though. Klingons please

7/10
